Design of an Advanced Composite Surface for Low Ice Adhesion: Integrating Active and Passive Anti-/Deicing Strategies to Disrupt Icing Interfaces.

Icing presents substantial economic challenges and endangers equipment safety. Contemporary anti-icing research emphasizes the integration of active and passive technologies, with a particular focus on mitigating ice adhesion for more efficient anti-icing and deicing solutions. In this study, a multilayer composite antideicing surface is developed, integrating energy storage, photo-/electro-thermal functionalities, and superslippery properties.
